Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ya no quiero llorar no
olvidame olvidame
ya no quiero llorar
Tuve un amor sin defectos
era perfecto era amor de verdad
siempre deacuerdo
no queria perderlo
queria guardarlo por siempre
queria que fuera mi amor sin final
y mientras tanto me olvidava de amar
arta de esperarme te vas
Llorar duele mas
cuando se que fui yo
el que nunca entendo
llorar duele mas
ya que se que se que soy la razon
de lo que no paso
por no ver que tu eras
mas real que un amor
y querer que sintieras
lo que nunca existio.
Tuve un amor inperfecto
con sus defectos de amor de verdad
y yo y mi miedo
lo dejamos pasar
ahora que lo entiendo te vas
Llorar duele mas
cuando se que fui yo
el que nunca entendio
llorar duele mas
ya que se que soy la razon
de lo que nos paso.
Y ahora se que te ame
me doy cuenta y ya no te tendre
pues ya te vas
Llorar duele mas
cuando se que fui yo
el que nunca entendio
llorar duele mas
ya que se que soy la razon
de lo que nos paso
Y el dolor tendre que soportar
por cuanto tiempo mas uuu
por que te alejas hoy que me dejas
mi amor mi amor
Olvidame olvidame.
The song "Llorar Duele Mas" by Kalimba is a poignant ballad that explores the pain of lost love and the regret that comes from not appreciating what you had until it's gone. The lyrics express a deep sense of sadness and longing as the singer reflects on a love that they took for granted and ultimately lost. The first verse describes a love that was perfect, without any flaws, and how the singer wanted it to last forever. However, in their desire to hold onto this ideal love, they forgot to actually love the person and as a result, they lost them.
The chorus ("Llorar duele mas") translates to "Crying hurts more" and expresses the idea that it is more painful to cry when you know that you were the reason for the loss. The second verse describes a love that was flawed and imperfect, but the singer and their fear prevented them from fully embracing it. Now that they understand what they had, it's too late, and the pain of that loss is overwhelming.
Overall, the song is a powerful message about learning to appreciate what you have while you have it and not taking love for granted.
